I don't understand the negative reviews for G20. While it's not Oscar material, it delivers exactly what you'd expect from a political action thriller. It's fast-paced, engaging, and much stronger than many tired franchise films. Viola Davis commands the screen with intensity and depth, making her role as President Taylor both believable and memorable. The film touches on global tensions without getting too heavy, keeping the plot tight and accessible. Had a more mainstream actress like Sandra Bullock led the cast, I suspect the public and critics alike might have responded more favorably. This one deserves more credit.

While I genuinely enjoyed watching this series, I couldn't help but be struck by its uncanny resemblances to Shirley Conran's iconic "Lace.", which was made into a miniseries with Phoebe Cates. From the intricate plot details to the overarching themes, the parallels were too evident to dismiss as mere coincidence. It's intriguing to ponder whether these similarities were intentional homages or unintentional overlaps. Regardless, this element of déjà vu did cast a shadow over my viewing experience. However, it's worth noting that despite these resemblances, the series stands on its own merit. The narrative is engaging, and the plot twists are masterfully executed, ensuring that viewers remain on the edge of their seats. The cinematography and character development further enhance the viewing experience, making it a pleasant watch overall. While comparisons to "Lace" are inevitable, this series offers its own unique flavor and charm, making it a worthy addition to any television enthusiast's viewing.

Amazing show with excellent writing and acting talent - worth watching only for Michelle Dockery who does a great job!
